Hello BP'ers,

Can anyone recommend a closing attorney close to the south side of Atlanta (south Fulton, Clayton, or Henry county) that is great with closing owner financing and lease options? 

I just moved from Cobb to Clayton and I have  a couple of creative deals on contract now.

I could also use a great mortgage broker as well. 

Thanks a bunch for your help.

Hey W. J Mencarow, thanks for the recommendation . I'll be sure to add Drake to my specialized seller carryback attorneys.

After googling last week, I called around to 10 RE law offices here in Clayton County where I have recently moved from Cobb. 

The responses were:

2 disconnects, 2 wrong numbers, 1 "we don't do that", 3 answering machines, 1 receptionist, and 1 that just continued to ring.

At that point, I figured I would rather travel a bit and work with a real specialist in the subject regardless of their location.

I actually put "attorney atlanta" into BiggerPockets' search box. Inside the first post someone asked for a friendly wholesale attorney, and Marvin McTaw recommended Matt H. Schuurman at Shafritz & Dean, LLC, Attorneys at Law. Marvin and I worked together on a couple of deals and I remembered him directing a seller financing buyer to wire funds to their escrow. So it all came together for me that Matt was the type of guy I should be contacting. We had lunch this past Monday, great guy.
